Q: What’s the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option. Nannies, on the other hand, are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Q: How do babysitters interact with my child?

Babysitters on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child's interests lie, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

Whitney was absolutely incredible while watching our two very high-energy boys during our two-week trip to Breckenridge. From the moment we met her, she was warm, dependable, and so easy to work with. She kept the boys constantly engaged with fun activities like skiing, trips to the park, and visits to the candy store, which meant they never had time to get restless. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which made everything so much easier while we were away. On top of keeping the kids happy and busy, Whitney went above and beyond by cooking meals for them and even helping keep the house tidy and organized. It was such a relief knowing they were not only safe but genuinely having a great time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and are so grateful for everything she did. We cannot wait to work with Whitney again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and amazing with kids.

Dawn was absolutely amazing. She came to our Airbnb to watch our almost 3 year old daughter and 5 and 1 year old nephews for two evenings while we were in Breckenridge. All of the kids loved her. Our daughter asked yesterday (now that we are back home), "Where is Ms. Dawn, I love her so much". Highly recommend!

Morgan was an amazing babysitter for my 18 month old twins! She had such great enthusiastic and warm energy that they needed. She played, read, fed, and took them on walks. She also helped tidy up when they were napping. If I go to Vail again, I would definetaly hire Morgan again!
